MINUTES
-------
1) Administrivia
o Approval of the Minutes
The IESG approved the minutes of the July 27th IESG meeting.
o Action Items
The IESG has been reviewing action items by email, and made plans to
review outstanding actions at the next meeting.
o Next Meeting
The next meeting was scheduled for August 17th. The IESG will
try to meet weekly for the next several weeks to clear away a
growing backlog of protocol and management issues.
2) Protocol Actions
o PPP Authentication
The PPP Authentication protocol is nearing the end of its long
journey toward Proposed Standard. The token is currently with the
Working Group.
ACTION: S. Crocker: Make sure the PPP Authentication guys finally reach
agreement on the remaining issues with PPP Authentication.
o TCP/IP Header Compression
Little progress has been made in identifying the items that need
clarification in the Header Compression document. Because Noel
Chiappa has left the IESG, the responsibility for this protocol has
been passed to Dave Borman.
o IP and ARP over HIPPI
The Internet Draft "IP and ARP over HIPPI" was reviewed by Philip
Almquist. This is a large and relatively complex document
explaining how to run IP and ARP over HIPPI channel. HIPPI was
originally intended as a high speed bus, but with the introduction
of switches has become more LAN-like. In addressing the issues
involved with running ARP over HIPPI, the document goes to some
length to clarify the model HIPPI as a LAN.
The IESG discussed the scope of the document and whether it was
appropriate for the IETF to standardize a document dealing with the
use of HIPPI as a LAN, and agreed that in so far as this needed to
be addressed for ARP and IP to function on HIPPI, it was
acceptable.
ACTION: Borman -- Review for technical accuracy and editorial
completeness the IP and ARP over HIPPI document.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- With the review and of Dave Borman, craft and send
a recommendation to the IAB to publish IP and ARP over HIPPI as a
Proposed Standard.
o PPP NCP for CLNP
Philip Almquist reviewed the Internet Draft "The PPP OSI Network
Layer Control Protocol (OSINLCP)" and determined that the document
acceptable as a Proposed Standard.
ACTION: Piscitello -- Provide an additional review of the OSI NCP
document.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- With Piscitello's review of the document, craft
and send a recommendation to the IAB to publish the PPP NCP for OSI as
a Proposed Standard.
o PPP NCP for AppleTalk
Philip Almquist reviewed the Internet Draft "The PPP AppleTalk
Control Protocol (ATCP)" and determined that the document was
acceptable as a Proposed Standard.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Craft and send a recommendation to the IAB to
publish the PPP NCP for AppleTalk as a Proposed Standard.
o Telnet Remote Control Option
The Internet Draft "Telnet Remote Flow Control Option" was written
by Dave Borman and was reviewed by Russ Hobby. The IESG approved
this document as a Proposed Standard.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Craft and Send a recommendation to the IAB to
publish the Telnet Remote Flow Control Option as a Proposed Standard.
o Naming Guidelines for Directory Pilots
o String Representation of Distinguished Names
Comments were received by the IESG on these documents and the
documents are being edited to reflect the positive comments. IESG
consideration will be delayed until current versions of the protocols
are available.
o Ethernet MIB
Comments were received by the IESG during the last call period.
These comments are currently being incorporated into the document.
IESG consideration will be deferred until a new version will be
posted as an Internet Draft.
3) Technical Management Issues
o OSPF AS
After a long delay, the IAB Applicability Statement (AS) for OSPF
to be the "common" Interior Gateway Protocol is ready to be advanced
as a Proposed Standard. Because of the large delay between the
IESG recommendation and the IAB document, the IESG recommendation
appears quite dated. The IESG discussed the possibility of updating
the recommendation or merely asking that it not be published as an
RFC and not referenced in the IAB AS. The IESG agreed that
publishing the recommendation was a good thing, but not wanting
to delay the OSPF AS any longer, opted to decouple the two
documents. Time permitting, the IESG recommendation will be
re-worded and published as an RFC, however, the IAB AS should be
posted as soon as possible, without the reference to the IESG
recommendation if necessary.
ACTION: Gross -- Notify the IAB that the IESG does not want the OSPF AS
delayed pending IESG rewrite of their recommendation and encourages the
IAB to post the AS as an Internet Draft as soon as possible.
ACTION: Gross -- Update the IESG recommendation that OSPF be chosen as
the Common IGP and submit it as an RFC.
o SNMP Evolution.
Chuck Davin prepared a note outlining a course of action in moving
toward a new version of SNMP. The IESG reviewed this note, and
with specific changes endorsed it. After the note is sent to the
IETF, the IESG plans to review the charter of the SNMP Evolution
Working Group pending the selection of a chair.
ACTION: Davin -- Send the SNMP Evolution plan to the IETF.
ACTION: Davin, Vaudreuil -- Craft and get IESG approval of charter for
the SNMP Evolution Working Group charter.
o Proposed IETF Working Group on IETF/IAB procedures.
The IAB is working with the ISOC Board to form an IETF Working
Group to review and improve the procedures by which the IETF and
the IAB make standards. The IESG was given a draft version of
this proposal for comments and the IESG had no objections.
ACTION: Gross -- Convey to the IAB the IESG agreement with the IAB/ISOC
plan to create an IETF working group to examine the procedures of the
IETF and IAB.
